Can't upload to Apple Store: ERROR ITMS-90179

[simon.schvartzman]

Hi guys, I'm getting the following error when trying to upload a new version of my APP to the Apple store.

ERROR ITMS-90179: "Invalid Code Signing. The executable 'XXXXXXXXX' must be signed with the certificate that is contained in the provisioning profile."

The newness of this version is to support notifications.

From the error message it is obvious that there is some confusion between the certificate and the provisioning profile. I have tried several options but none fixed the issue.

I'm about to delete all my certificates, IDs and provisioning profiles and start all over again but I'm afraid to do so because I don't know if this could somehow impact the version that is already on production.

Can someone throw some light as how to handle this situation?

I'm desperate to be able to support notifications on my App so any suggestion will be very welcomed.

Many thanks...

Hi Simon,
I needed to geneate a new distrbution certificate, this doesnt impact my app on appstore but I dont know what happends if you delete a provisioning profile used by an app.
Best regards

Thanks Jean-Marc, after all it was me using the wrong distribution Profile...(shame on me)

Anyway it would be interested to know what are the consequences of deleting a provisioning profile used by an app that is already published...

Best!

Apps published on the App Store will not be affected. Any new apps you publish will use the new designated certificate. As I understand it, the certificate is embedded in the app permanently when you build.

Thanks Jacque, it makes complete sense that already published app should not be impacted.

Regards.
